Where is that info coming from? Do we keep that pick? It says nothing about that in the report.

When do we next have a first rounder? Next millenium?

We did keep Anthony Randolph. I don't know what that means exactly.

If thats the case, I can live with it. Always felt that Randolph had the most potential of all of our youngin's, just hope that MDA is forced to put him into the rotation. Opening up playing time for AR is almost like getting another player in this trade.

it's not the case. AR/Curry are going to Twolves. This is a set-in-stone part of the deal.

Hey didn't I call the other day that Minny might try and F with this part of the deal? Sounds like we didn't get the 1st rounder from them; instead we picked up some trade exception. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT'S ALL WE GOT FOR A TALENT LIKE RANDOLPH!! WE GOT HOSED. This forced us to kick in our own 2014 1st instead, a piece we could've kept if Kahn didn't take advantage of us (so much for the Walsh/D Kahn friendship here too, huh? Dude's a straight up punk if you ask me)...No details confirmed yet but that looks to be the case...F Minny, just another player in this thing that took full advantage of us. So much for Donnie saying he'd have no problem trading for a 1st rounder, possibly 2...And to be clear I don't blame Donnie here -- I just think Minny, like Den, saw an opportunity to escalate demands knowing the Knicks had no choice but to oblige..The only player in this whole saga that was forced over a barrel time and time again was the Knicks..No one else..Everyone else got everything they wanted and asked for..GIFTWRAPPED!!! Unbelieveably disgusting.

Stat and Melo is a great foundation. Time to fill out the roster over the next year or so.

Ha...good way to think of it.

Let the Linsanity ensue!!!!!!

The trade, which includes Randolph and Curry going to Minnesota, means Knicks open up two roster spots. Will need to get a big.

[nerd talk] Gotham City just emptied its banks to bring in Robin. This better not be the one that dies. [/nerd talk]

Haha...love the Balkster, but D'Antoni wanted this guy gone as soon as he got here. I wouldn't anticipate him being on this roster for long.

We have a lot of open spots on our roster. Also what happened to Curry. Sounds like we don't have all the details.

(David Lee,) Trevor Ariza, and Landry Fields are the Knicks best picks... so as long as we keep our 2nd round picks, we're okay
